Download The PortableApps.com Platform 11.2

HomeRainlendar is a feature rich calendar application that is easy to use and doesn't take much space on your desktop. The application is platform independent so you can run it on all major operating systems: Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. The appearance can be customized with skins and you can even mix different skins together. It is possible to use Rainlendar with other calendar applications too. Rainlendar uses the standard iCalendar format to store its events and tasks so you can easily transfer them between applications. Rainlendar is a unicode application and supports localization so you can use it in your own language. All the future events are shown in a separate list where you can see the week's events at one glance. You can also have a separate list for your long term tasks. You'll also get an alarm when an event or task is due so that you don't miss it. And that's not all. ** The Outlook support works only in the Windows version.

67 Open Source Replacements for Really Expensive ApplicationsWhy spend thousands or even hundreds or thousands of dollars on a closed source application when you can get a comparable open source app for free? Even if you need commercial support, many open source programs now offer paid support that costs much less than the alternatives. For this list, we looked for quality, open source alternatives to software that has a reputation for being expensive. Whenever possible, we included MSRPs for the expensive software, though in some cases, the pricing scheme is so complicated that it's nearly impossible to pin down. We published a similar list last year, and we've updated and expanded the list for 2011. Accounting 1. 2. 3. 4. Audio Recording/Editing 5. 6. 7. Business Intelligence 8. 9. 10. 11. 12.
